LordReed: Pretty much, until later when Jacob repented when he met with the Angel at Jabbok. |

Image123: So his vision after he left home was not a sign that the god was favouring him? |

Kobojunkie: Gen 27 27 So he went to him and kissed him. When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the LORD has blessed. 28 May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness-- an abundance of grain and new wine. 29 May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed." |

Image123: And that's why his name was changed to Israel... |

LordReed: Israel is the model for all nations in God's plan... |

LordReed: God was favouring him and with him, but that is different from the birthright blessings that he wanted from Isaac. Genesis 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. The whole family had the Abrahamic blessings and of course their normal parents prayers/blessings. That's different from what he tried getting from Esau earlier for porridge. |

LordReed:That there is Isaac's prayer for his son. But God's plan was different. |

Kobojunkie:How was god's plan different? |
Re: Why Did Rebekah Instructed Jacob To Steal Esau Blessing. by Kobojunkie: 6:05pm On Dec 11, 2021 |
LordReed:The prophesy is different and what turned out is also different is different from Isaac's prayer. |

Yinkakolawole: Jacob did not steal Esau's birthright. He negotiated it. It was Esau who despised his birthright. He released it with an oath the day ha asked for food. Esau was the crook. He sold his birth right and still wanted to collect the blessing. The day he sold it was the day he lost the blessing. |

TruthinAction:Jacob did connive with his mother to dwindle his father and his brother in the story, not the other way around. Also, Esau did not loose any blessing since God is the one who blesses and curses, not men. |

TruthinAction: So it was okay for him to die rather than get food to quench hunger? If Jacob isn’t a crook, how much was the plate worth that he charged so much? Reminds me of these IMF loans and conditions used to drain the destiny of nations. To you, it’s also okay for a philanthropist to give 100 Naira yo collect destiny. Or to use covid vaccines to ruin a nation. Or yo use party food yo alter people’s glory. |
